According to The Hill (4/15, Yager), "Tucked inside President Obama's
Most Recent 60 Days's 2009 war-spending measure for Iraq and
Afghanistan is a $71.6 million request to overhaul the U.S. Capitol
Police Department's radio system. Capitol Police and area law
enforcement officials have complained for years of having an
inefficient system that crashes periodically, loses its signal in
various parts of the Capitol complex and can be overheard with
store-bought radio scanners."
